Less than fifteen kilometres east of Zl\u00edn, there is the town of Vizovice. The picturesque town is located in the valley near the Vizovice Highlands and is called the ‘gate of Wallachia’. Its history dates back to pagan times but the first written mention was in 1261. The town has a rich history which is visible in its historical centre with two triangular squares. The baroque ch\u00e2teau is a historical treasure of the town. The other baroque buildings and monuments are the Monastery and Hospital of the Merciful Brothers, The Parish Church of St. Lawrence from 1792, or the Marian Column in Doln\u00ed N\u00e1m\u011bst\u00ed (town\u2019s main square).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When you walk through the town centre, you can see other types of architecture. For example, Villa Caf\u00e9 York is a beautiful example of Art Nouveau, and Vizovice house no. 256 built in 1787 which was honoured an award for the Vernacular Building of the Zl\u00edn region in 2015.<\/p>\n
The birthplace of a Czech actor Bolek Pol\u00edvka isn\u2019t known just for the beautiful historical monuments and nature. When you say Vizovice, Czechs usually recall terms such as \u2018slivovice\u2019 or \u2018Rudolf Jel\u00ednek\u2019. Distillation of plum brandy has been documented since the 17th century. This tradition is still alive nowadays. The Rudolf Jel\u00ednek Company exports its products to the whole world (the United States, Italy, Russia, South Africa, China…). The Metelka Company also spreads a good name of Moravia because it\u2019s headquartered in the area of the Rudolf Jel\u00ednek Company and significantly cooperates in the production.<\/p>\n
